Cake “Ptashyne moloko” (grandmother’s recipe)

Homemade cakes are tasty and not so injurious to health as store-bought desserts. That’s why it is better to bake them yourselves rather than buy them. Today we are going to bake a delicious cocoa cake with chocolate icing.

The cake “Ptashyne moloko” contains a tender soufflé. However the secret of this recipe is that the dessert has a slightly sour taste because of the lemon juice as one of the components. And also the cake differs from the others owing to the cocoa powder added to the biscuit dough.

1 glass of sugar
